Okay so I'm in my dad's nest (also known as the shed we converted into a wee office) smoking Gauloises listening to music + attempting to outline this ridiculous paper. The topic is "In what ways does feminist analysis disturb traditional concepts of science and technology? How do issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation complicate the matter? Critically assess what sort of critiques are levied against science and technology and explain which you think is most effective." The kicker is 5-7 pages. I suppose the point (the point!) is that we whittle this down and manage to craft our own thesis. Still, it's a bit overwhelming. I wanna talk about feminist epistemologies and constructions of nature/culture techne/episteme natural/artefactual, and about scientific productions of gender + sexuality narratives, but that's huge. Grrr. ::drag::

So yeah, I'm home. I'm wearing a sweater vest. Now Tracy Chapman is on. Things are pretty good, if only I could outline this beast. Also I've got The Ethical Slut in my clutches, which may or may not prove useful. The other day I wrote something about how g-ddess is telling me that desire's not a lack, that I have to take that lack, that yearning, and transform it into a sorta cup and just let flow out of it rather than viewing it as a yearning. I really should find that paper, cos I wrote it down better than I just did. The point is, 9:46 evolution time and I feel close despite lands + ocean sounds separating.

Time for another c.i. WIsh me luck!

Yeah, I've skimmed it before and now I'm actually going through it with a careful eye. It's such an easy read I just wanna be sure I don't miss anything, you know? I'd be curious to know what you find problematic, as I'm sure I'll come up w/some things too ;). Have a good break love-
